I came from a 2021 Grand Design Reflection 311BHS to a 2025 Alliance Avenue 38DBL and couldn't be happier. All of the better RV manufacturers are about the same when comparing the build quality but it was the little things that persuaded me to go with Alliance. It came with a Gas Stop propane shut off, it came with G rated tires, it came with Azdel outer walls, composite interior walls and an Azdel floor so there's no chance of rot if it gets wet. The cabinets boxes are sanded birchwood, not plywood that splinters, a full one piece fiberglass shower stall, and the list goes on. There was even a small piece of painted trim that I took to a big box store to have the paint matched so I would have touch up paint if needed. The roof is PVC with a lifetime warranty. Not the 10 year warranty you get with Grand Design and most other manufacturers. Even the front nose cap has automotive paint. Not that gel coat crap that spider cracks. The customer service is also on par with Grand Design so it was a no brainer for me. Not huge differences but enough little things to make the switch. That's not to say Grand Design doesn't make a very fine product because they do. They just need to step up their game a little which hasn't happened much since they were sold to Winnebago. I suppose that will happen with Alliance too if they ever sell to another company but for now, they're building them pretty good for the price point.
We just went to a show and the best new trailer we saw was rockwood. Better quality and feel than anything else including Brinkley and alliance. They’re running torsion axles and also now auto level. That is a tank of a travel trailer
That’s awesome that you might have a Lineage to go west in! So cool! We plan to order a GD Solitude 376RD soon as we are now full-timers. If they have one there and you have the time, we’d love to see it. There are no vids out there on a 2025.
I'll have to add this one to the list to attend next year. For us personally, I'd like to find a SRW 1 Ton towable fifth wheel with room for a family of 5. Our kids are growing, so we're trying to look ahead to what a fifth wheel with 3 pre-teen/teenagers would be. We're in a Kodiak 283BHSL right now and it's getting tight even with our kids being younger.
Love the Grand Design Imagine 2800BH. Rockwood 2706BS is very similar and a brand I would trust. These are incredibly well thought out floor plans. Precisely why everyone copies it. We’ve had ours for 8 years and it just works. I would look hard at the Series I from Brinkley but I’m just not convinced they’re worth the extra money yet. Maybe! The prices really go up from there. ATC, Airstream, ect. I really don’t put those in the same category.
@ I appreciate the response!!! I’ll check those out. I’ve been torn between the 2800BH and Jayco 27BH. I really wish Grand Design had Azdel walls - that’s my main concern. I’ve heard Jayco and GD are pretty competitive in terms of build quality but GD has much better after sales service on repairs.
East to West Tandara 27BH Alliance 30BH Looking to see how many termination points there are on each one. Unfortunately there are none in my immediate area.
I am looking at downsizing considerably. We sold my 26 ft TT and 3/4 ton Ford truck. I will probably get something very small we can tow with my Toyota Highlander. I just do not want anything bigger anymore nor want a bigger tow vehicle. No kids, retired and I hate staying in a hotel.
Please… do an in-depth look at the Brinkley 265 I. Really want to see the final production model. Have seen the pre production model in a few videos and really liked what I have seen. Actually have a deposit down on one.. without seeing one in person. Thanks
I want to know if there’s anything in the same vein as the Keystone Outback 335CG. We want a “bunkhouse” that I can put my Harley in, not a garage I can put my kids in.
I’m with you on the Imagine line - specifically the new 2300 (?) model. A couples trailer but a bit smaller than the 2600RB. Curious what you think! P.S. We are also wondering about ATC models. Built like tanks - but are they worth the coin? Thanks Corey!
No special request but I always enjoy seeing anything from Brinkley. In my opinion they are now the leader in the industry with due respect to other manufacturers.
Check out alliance when you get a minute! We are thinking of downsizing to an avenue bunk house

I would love to see more about Venture RV, i think they are underrated.

Thanks for that video. Personally, I'd love to see the 2025 Imagine 23LDE. Thanks!
I think they’ll have one there!
I'm looking to change from a small towable to a Jayco Grayhawk 30Z. I'd love to get your take on that.
Looking forward to any ATC videos you can produce!!! They are extremely interesting trailers being all aluminum🤔

How would you feel about a travel trailer bunk model that utilizes 2 queen beds for the bunks?
If you had no ties to Grand Design and you were looking for a new TT with a bunk house around 30’, which make/model would you get?

Check out rockwood/flagstaff one of the best made trailers. Specifically rockwood 2618rd or flagstaff 26srd.
Any new alliance avenue TT, Brinkley 297 Z Air, and the Cougar 297RLP TT 's.

Absolutely. I’ll also show you what it’s like without all of the fancy lighting. Haha.
@ I would appreciate that 👍👍
Will you put a WDH on that lineage just for your brand? I hope to see you again in Tampa! We were wait listed for the VIP party this time. 😞
Ha! Hopefully I’ll get to learn the ins and outs regarding a TOAD!!

They really are high dollar. I think they’ll start at 90K now. That said they SHOULD last for generations. 🤷🏻♂️

Could care less about new rv's.
Vendors, new products, storage, etc..
Most of us already have our rv.
I enjoy the accessories as well but it is amazing how many folks “upgrade” every year or two!
Travato 59k please
